Ok,I'm done with the online races!!!

The rFactor racers are the worst racers I have ever raced with!
Promised that I'm not an alien usually I take place at the middle of the start grid(8°-12°) and it's impossibile to finish the first lap for me!Every one want to win at the first corner and every time they bump into me ,...I'm simply frustrated and sad for this
I'm coming from 1.5year of GT5 and I swear to you that GT5 racers are by far better and more mature than What I'm seeing from rF2 racers.
Yesterday and today I made about 10 races,I finished only 2 races.
I don't know,maybe I'm to much conservative with the brake at the first curve but when you have 8-10 cars on front of you and the tyres are cold and the brakes are cold I have to brake before and every one have to brake before especially who comes from behind
I'm not christ jesu because me too make errors but damn the last 3days were really hard to digest!

 

Thats why racing groups exist with someone doing as steward.
Going to race in an "open to all" server is like going to do a tour in Berlin in 1944.
Also try to figure the age diff in an open server ... Honestly you are asking too much.

Meet some racing group with a clean race policy and your experience will change completely.

 

I have the same mentality on braking early to avoid collisions. Although I've had several good and challenging races.
Maybe you have bad luck in online races?

When I sense that the racing is going to be chaotic, I simply go left and accelerate calmly at the start. So I'm last, but not least

 

That has been my experience with almost every open race in any sim, I now race almost exclusively with my club that way I may race less but at least I am racing with kindred spirits, without them I would have given up on online racing altogether.

 

Oh, I love online close simracing. Maybe I should try those private races too... I alwas associated those private servers with leagues.... Since I don't have all my time to concentrate on leagues, I race on open servers...

 

I totally agree.
Sometimes I tink ... what if I do a "King Tiger Tank Mod" to drive over some guys

 

Hey Wajdi, come and try ARI
http://isiforums.net/f/showthread.php/7288-New-Event-ARI-Fun-Race-8-Botniaring
things here are not like that at all!

 

Hah, that made me laugh.
Is it me, or aren't there too much players online?

 

I don't think rf2 is worse than other sims.. public races just suck.

 

Attitude like that no wonder.

I run nothing but public races in a ROOKIES room and we seem do do okay.


I lose patience very fast with people that whine about bad drivers or races.

No one makes you join..........

NO NEED TO TAKE THE LORDS NAME IN VAIN EITHER ! ( THUMB DOWN)

 

...Knight!...yes?....Don't!...But?...I know just let it lie...But?...I know, just say nothing...Oh all right then

 

There is two kind of sim, sim for offline races with AI like rFactor 2 and the other kind of sim for online races like ... in fact only iRacing.

 

What arguments do you base this on??? I have seen very messy racing with iRacing (don't own the game, so only saw the extreme cases posted on youtube), and I have seen very nice clean racing in rF (both 1 & 2), and some other games as well. If I understand in iRacing it is a more controlled 'enviroment', but you can create the very same in most games running in leagues What probably also is a 'plus' for iRacing is the costs. It is to expensive for lots of kids. Off course not all kids are bad, but I think in that age-group you'll find more idiot drivers.

Public racing can always be a pain, but also it can at times be really nice. I don't think it matters much which game you use, you'll find good and bad examples in all of them.

 

Try iRacing and you will experiment the difference between few accidents and huge systematic mayhem lol

 

Well, I said the price might be keeping some bad folks away, but me as well, it's just to expensive for me and my budget, and I don't even consider to try it when it costs that much

 

Thanks for the advertising, maybe the drivers who race for ramming into people will go to iRacing after your post.

**WARNING I'M JUST KIDDING !!! (people is very touchy lately about what I say)

 

Obviously, the thing to do is to get to know a core group of racers and only race with those people, the ones you know race cleanly.

If not, you're asking for trouble.

It's that simple: otherwise, you take what you get and shouldn't complain. It will not change the way things are with open races.

In my Spa room I remember we had 8cars 4:15 and 4:16 so you can have good open rooms.

In large popular open rooms sometimes a rookie on the wrong night only has to error a few times and they get blasted, some are already too nervous to ask for help and they certainly wont be calmer next time out.

Then they go from room to room , from car to track which furthers reduces the learning curve.

Positive reinforcement is the best idea if you want to improve overall quality, help the guys in practice time. If you think their wheel may be too sensitive tell them.

Open room showboats are for the larger part not interested in most others problem, so maybe as much fault lies with the better drivers. ?

Stick to one car and track, find a smaller room were people are willing to lap slow and help you to get you on your way.

I have no worry how any of the races in my F3 ROOKIES finish as long as everyone has fun and leaves lapping faster.

 

Hey Durge, keep it up, great work you are doing, thumps up !!
(I think I should say it, carry on please!!!)

 

I think everyone gets their feet wet in a public lobby then sits there after the race saying "WTF was that!!!"

If you have rF1 then go try Race2Play as a guest member (free). I think you'll realize what you're missing.

ROFL.
